Playlists on a Winter Night...

MUSIC LAUNCHES ME INTO ORBIT AND BEYOND.

IT MOVES ME TO DO SILLY THINGS AND TO FEEL GOOD DOING THEM.

OK, maybe music doesn't exactly equal life, but it surely enhances it unlike anything else. If you let it, it flows through every part of your existence. It's like a best friend or lover that's always there.

You can tap on whatever part of its wide-ranging personality or moods you want, at any time, and with one click or press of a button you can hear it speak to you about whatever you desire.

It can tease your ears and brain and plays on your own mood, brightening your day or enriching or magnifying whatever you're feeling into a sensual arousal of the brain that revives memories or whatever you wish.

Music makes me think. And feel. It helps to put me into a rythym and in tune with my thoughts.

I was going to take pix last night of a considerable snowfall here in the Great White North, on a relatively mild night.

But I got busy with blogging and driving my son to his band practice and back and never got around to it.
